Endure Balanced Flue
8
Hearth Requirements
The appliance needs to be located onto a solid non-combustible hearth with a minimum
thickness of 12mm. The hearth must be capable of withstanding the weight of the
appliance.
NB Side measurements taken from the Lid of the stove (Dimension E on page 4):
Rear measurement taken from the dilution box
Clearances
Hearth Protrusion (in front of the Ash lip)
50mm
Shelf Distance (above the stove)
300mm
The specified minimum rear clearance (20mm) is to non-combustible material. Combustible
materials behind the appliance will need to be shielded (as per the shielding method laid
out in building regulations approved document J). This dimension
cannot
be reduced.
If the appliance is intended to be installed into a non-combustible opening, the clearances
to the sides and above can be reduced. However it is recommended that the specific
minimum clearances are maintained, irrespective of the materials used in the construction
of the opening. This has been tested and approved, to allow adequate air flow and access
to the controls, as well as allowing access for smoke
tests and future maintenance of the
flue and the appliance. Clearances to combustible materials cannot be reduced
Additional Requirements
Curtains should not be positioned above the appliance at a distance of less than
the minimum specified for shelves
An additional guard is to be used to take account of the special hazards that exist
in nurseries and other places where there are young children or aged or infirm
persons present.
Preparing the Gas Supply
The gas supply can be prepared for a concealed fitting from the rear or sides (knock-out
panels on sides
– see diagram on page 10). When using the side entry points please be
aware of the position of the stove body in order to prevent interference between the body
and gas supply pipe. In all installation conditions the gas connection should be provided
using 8mm (O/O) copper tubing. A gas soundness test should be performed to ensure
that all existing pipework in the property is sound.
